Bubbles from the sea;

People
says, life is like a wheel, sometimes ball or even roller coaster.

Whatever
it is, it will be once up, once down and up and down all over again.

"So,
verily, with every difficulty there is relief:Verily,
with every difficulty there is relief.” 94:5-6

I
had been in another mode for quite a while.

So
here am I again. Just simply me, writing. This only post perhaps,
just to tell you what is going on in my life.

A
simple post, from one of zillion humans.

This
previous week had been hard. Not very, but almost. To start with, I
had a very busy weekend (that is Thursday and Friday here in Egypt)
therefore I think I had lost my pace of getting things right in
schedule. Everything was – almost – a mess.

Syeikhuna
Rohimuddin was leaving 'ala thul.

I
had offered myself to cook for Habib Hassan al-Kaf every Thursday.
(This is a happy thing mind you.)

There
were quizzes and exams.

I
hadn't revise anything yet.

I
had not visited Azhar Mosque as often as I wanted to.

Seriously
I am getting stressed of not having enough Arab vocabulary.

And
that was – almost – all of it.

ALLAH.

It
was a hard week. No doubt.

Every
morning I woke up, or already woke up since the day before with a
trillion things to do. Chores around the house, rush to the gamaah,
revise what I could, murajaah when I can, back to baiti jannati, cook
if it was my turn, flee to talaqqi, went back home and do whatever
else I had to.

To
think about it now... I think I know what went wrong.

Any
how, it is getting better alhamduLILLAH.

"Evaluate
yourself.” -Prof Dr Laila-

Syeikh
Yusuf always, always, remind us about the value of time. We can't
waste our time or spend it recklessly. Since I had this kind of
concept in my mind, I started to think that I had indeed, lost a lot
of time previously. On the other hand, we had also been told that
there is no use of regret. What had happened, happened. ALLAH made it
so and what will happen, will happen. ALLAH have HIS plan.

Bismillahitawakkaltu
'alaLLAH.

Not
to mention, I had lost my way several times just this week.
Travelling alone is fine by me, but this previous week, it was a real
nightmare. I just couldn't take it until the point my heart whispered:
“I'm getting worn out.”

Practising
patience in the middle of Arabians are... getting to my nerve.

And
yet, I just couldn't stop finding their good sides.

I
am not planning to write travel logs; though my travels here had been
more than what I would call adventurous.Walked quite a distance, been to the places even
my musyrif didn't recognise and yes, got lost multiple times multiple
days in a row.

Tazkirah itu peringatan.

Hamba Allah fisabilillah,

Bismillah.
